- How I think Web Apps Should be Installed – Ben Francis
Sep 15, 2026 · original
Some good ideas on how browsers could offer the ability to install the current site. Frankly, anything would be better than the current woeful situation! adactio.com/links/22760 - Native HTML and CSS Features That Replaced JavaScript · Ronalds Vilciņš
Sep 9, 2026 · original
Modern HTML and CSS have gained a surprising number of features that cover interactions and layout problems we used to solve with custom scripts or libraries. JavaScript obviously isn’t going anywhere, and there are plenty of things that still require it, but in 2026 I find myself needing it less often for ordinary website interfaces. adactio.com/links/22754 - On artificial intelligence • Buttondown

I hope you’ll read and understand that for many of us, this isn’t a knee-jerk reaction or a culty, cosmic doomer rant. It’s about money, power, and quality of life for me and the people I share a planet with. Matt’s position very much mirrors my own. As long as I have a choice, and the economic means to keep a roof over my head and a set of reasonably firm values, I am opting out of first-person interaction with AI. And if any of my situation changes for the worse, before I accept AI as my lord and master, I will go down swinging. adactio.com/links/22753 - Humans did not invent art. It was the other way around | Aeon Essays
Sep 3, 2026 · original
The question of when humans invented art leads us to imagine early humans much like ourselves, deciding one day to express themselves through symbols and figures. The assumption hidden in the question is that they already had minds like ours and simply chose, out of all the things they might have done on a frigid day in the Ice Age, to pick up ochre and make animal pictures. But the evidence, it seems to me, points the other way: it was the practice of making images, repeated over hundreds of generations, that occasioned the emergence of those minds we take for granted. adactio.com/links/22749 - Why We Like Things—Asterisk

Seams ! Mark Weiser, the person who framed ubiquitous computing, never said the goal was seamless. He warned that making everything seamless is the same as making everything uniform, and he argued for seamful systems, ones that let each part remain itself. Chalmers and MacColl turned this into a full design position : questioning the assumption that seamlessness is a requirement, and arguing that visible seams can be useful, even appropriated by people for their own ends. adactio.com/links/22746 - Michelle Barker | Little Websites Everywhere
Sep 2, 2026 · original
Amid the dying embers, a resilient cohort of indie web bloggers, artists and creators will keep going, keep on talking to each other through their blogs, without tracking, pop-ups or invasive ads. Making fun websites, helpful websites, pointless websites (the best kind) that serve no purpose other than to manifest someone’s spark of creativity. Ignored by the lumbering giants that have gorged themselves into a stupor, keeping low under the radar of the hungry LLM crawlers eager to voraciously gobble up the last remaining crumbs of the free web. adactio.com/links/22745 - CSS is Still Awesome • Jason Santa Maria
Sep 1, 2026 · original
CSS finally gave the web its own grain . And the real crazy part is that my bad decades-old code still renders fine in today’s latest web browsers! I would be sad if it didn’t, but I also wouldn’t be surprised. How is this stuff still backwards compatible!?

I try to keep on doing what I do in order to stay sane. I keep on teaching about the wonderful web to my students, even if nobody will ever hire a talented, creative, junior developer again. I keep on teaching about the consequences of the open web, even if it’s harder and harder to find anything open in this monopolised web anymore. And I do that because I still care. adactio.com/links/22737 - An fuireachas le Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann

Ag fanacht… adactio.com/links/22735 - Michelle Barker | In Praise of Libraries
Aug 25, 2026 · original
For me, libraries are about books. Worlds undiscovered, ideas to devour. But they are so much more. For others they offer a lifeline. A place to learn, to connect with the community, to access vital resources. They have meant all these things to me over the years. adactio.com/links/22733 - HTML Can Do That · Chris Burnell

All the items in this room were once out of reach; some not yet invented, others too rare or costly for the vast majority of people.

The unveiling ceremony is scheduled for September 29th : The Milestone plaque recognizing Colossus is to be displayed outside Block H at Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes, England. The plaque is to read: Six Colossus codebreaking computers operated in this building in 1944–1945. Designed by Thomas H. Flowers of the British Post Office, they enabled deciphering of encrypted radio messages transmitted between German commands across occupied Europe, North Africa, and the Soviet Union. The resulting military intelligence saved countless lives and helped shorten World War II. As the first successful large-scale application of digital electronics to computing, Colossus anticipated subsequent computer developments. adactio.com/links/22715 - Oh Hello Ana - Towards a personal online third-space
